The wild and crazy ride of raising our triplets: Rowan, Eli, and Finn!

Baby Bump – Week 19 April 1, 2008

Well I figured it was time for new belly pics especially since it now looks impressive! It’s kinda funny to have people look at my belly and ask how far along I am; I don’t think they know how to respond when I say almost 5 months!!! And the boys have turned into quite the gymnasts the last few weeks; hopefully they aren’t already fighting with each other!

But things are still going great so far; I am starting to cross the border of being uncomfortable but hopefully it is just an adjustment phase. If you’ve ever seen a turtle trapped on it’s back trying to turn over, that is close to what I look like now when I’m laying down and trying to get up. From what I hear, it’s kinda funny to watch me try to move around. And I’m finally making some good progress on the weight gain; I’m up to about 10-12 lbs. depending on the day. I’ve been staying very hungry but it just doesn’t take much food for me to feel full now. But I’m still trying my best; and eating some ice cream occasionally 🙂 Hope things are going good for everybody and I’ll be back later in the week with the update from our doctor’s appt.

Oh, Renita, I do want everything to go really well for you and the tots and hubby too, let’s not forget about him. I am so happy things are going well…and I am so glad you have this website. I shared it with 2 of my instructors. I hope that is OK.
You are really looking “swell”!. Oh, by the way, I saw Heather at the hospital on one of my clinical rotations. She was so excited, you and the tots are the first thing she told me about.

You look fantastic! I enjoyed talking to you last week, but I did think of something else…have you tried buttering up some honey buns and tossing them into the microwave? SOOOO yummy and loaded with calories! I am jealous even thinking about it!
